A verdict has been reached in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez.

Hernandez was on trial for the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in a Massachusetts industrial park in June 2013.

Lloyd's family appeared anxious in the Fall River, Massachusetts, courtroom, as did the mother of Hernandez.

As to Hernandez, he sat awaiting the verdict with his attorneys surrounding him.

Prosecutors took months to present more than 130 witnesses to build their case. The defense wrapped its witnesses in less than a day.

Prosecutors say Lloyd was seen June 17, 2013, around 2:30 a.m. with Hernandez and Hernandez's friends, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, in a rented silver Nissan Altima. Later that day, a jogger found his body riddled with gunshots.

Wallace and Ortiz, who were also charged with murder, have pleaded not guilty, and will be tried separately.

Hernandez's attorney, James Sultan, told jurors that Hernandez "witnessed" Lloyd's killing, "committed by somebody he knew," and that the former NFL player "really didn't know what to do, so he put one foot in front of another" and moved on with his life.

That's a lot of guys, sadly.

Wow....I had a feeling the jury come back hung due to the evidence being circumstantial.  But I'm glad they got it right.

With no weapon, witness or motive I truly thought he was going to get off.

From everything I've seen, he doesn't appear to be the least bit regretful about it either... almost like he's proud of what he did.

Got me thinking of how easy it is to fall into a bucket of poo. I hope the up and coming players of any sport take note of what just happened.

I think he's a legitimate psychopath.

Fits in with what people said about him when he was with the Pats.

No remorse, nothing.

 

 

Had he shown something in the courtroom, I bet he has a shot at a hung jury or a 2nd instead of a 1st.
